Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s primary gateway, functioning as the country’s main international hub while also handling regional and low-cost carriers. Expect a mix of full-service airlines and budget operators offering seasonal and year-round connections across Europe and beyond; fares can be competitive compared with other Baltic capitals. The airport sits about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) south of Riga’s Old Town. Transport choices include frequent bus and minibus services (approx. €1–€3, 25–40 minutes), taxis and app-based rides (20–30 minutes, fares typically higher), and shuttle transfers to major hotels. Pros: compact terminal, straightforward transfers and reasonable walking distances. Cons: can be busy during peak summer months and amenities are more limited than at larger hub airports.

Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with Capital historically functioning as the main international hub and Daxing designed to relieve congestion and attract long-haul and transfer traffic. Major carriers including Air China, China Eastern/China Southern partners, and many international airlines operate across both airports, while some low-cost carriers may route through secondary options. PEK sits about 25–30 km northeast of downtown (roughly 40–60 minutes by express train or taxi), while Daxing is about 45–50 km to the south (30–60 minutes by dedicated high-speed airport express or car). Public transit links are efficient: Airport Express lines and high-speed intercity trains can be economical (fares typically vary by service and distance), and taxis or app-based cars are convenient but can be pricier during peak hours. Pros: strong connectivity, modern facilities and frequent flights; cons: long transfer distances between terminals and potential for heavy traffic or busy security lines during peak travel.

In different months, ticket prices from Riga to Beijing vary: minimum — $442 (April 2026), maximum — $652 (October 2026). Typically, the flight costs $497–$519.
